This PHP5 class allows your Prototype JavaScript AJAX applications to natively call PHP methods and get data back as if the methods were written in JavaScript. I modeled this somewhat after AMFPHP for Flash remoting. I wanted to be able to simply write methods in a PHP class and then call them in JavaScript and not write any more code than that. This pretty much does that. You can see it in action at my website: http://onesandzeros.biz/j sphpremoting/

If you are starting out in your first Ajax based program, one of the biggest challenges that you have to face is to let your users remember not to hit the back button. Most of the time, Ajax based programs does not like the back button. Unfortunately, Ajax does not have that functionality in bookmarking the previous page so that it could be reloaded anytime. With this development or some call it a disability; it is quite clear that today’s browsers were built without thinking

Ajax is a great helper to us while developing rapid applications without worrying us at power of asynchronous. In Visual Web Developer 2008 comes with built in Atlas and ASP.NET3.5 . In this tutorial, I try to show you what's ajax and database querying at same time. Now let's build our scene. Open an empty web site and dop a ScriptManager and UpdatePanel from Ajax Extensions tab. Close the tab and open standard controls and drop one textbox and one button. Place a label inside ajax control and one more outside of UpDatePanel. The second label will display that we are using Ajax and page is not posting back. I will add some hard codes and I have put s SqlDataSource and a GridView. Complete code is included

One of the best thing about the hype created by AJAX was the reaction of other developers. Of course, there are individuals they are willing to build an alternative for every hype which is usually considered as a rip-off of the original hyped programming. Such programs frequently fail even before it gets started. For example, just look at different web-based office applications since zoho.com made a mark. Though lots of alternatives are available, almost none came even close.

At times, pagination does not convey any meaning - say when you have a essentially endless list of articles from various RSS feeds. One solution is to load all the articles - that's out of question when there are more than a handful; the web 2.0 way is to load additional content when reader is at the end of content.
A small tutorial where I describe how to get a Userip with Ajax and making it afterwards available as javascript var. I describe two ways - in a pure php site and how to do it in a htm or html site (with Ajax). Perhaps it may help you, as I see it very often that people have problems with this issue.

JAX, short for asynchronous javascript and XML, is one of the "in" web technologies at the moment. Although it is currently being utilized in a wide variety of ways, it's original intended method was simply sending data and retrieving responses without waiting for a page to reload. We're going to take a step back to the time where that was all it was used for.
To start off, we're going to write our PHP script that we are POSTing to. We're just going to have it echo our name back to us. Simple, but we've gotta start somewhere!
In javascript we declare variables by using the var keyword. Translation: when we want to tell javascript that we want to make a variable, we have to use the word var. It’s a special word that javascript recognizes.
But what is a variable? Something that holds a value that can change. For example, in math, “x” can be “blue"...
In the last year, nearly 500 Ajax frameworks have been created. Picking the proper framework is extremely important, because it will determine the success of the features, maintenance, and development time for your project. There are a number of questions you will want to ask yourself when it comes to choosing the proper framework. If you are looking for a list of the available frameworks, some of the best places to start would be Wikipedia, as well as the Ajax Projects. As far as questions are concerned, will the server be independent? Frameworks which use independent servers will help out with mashing up server systems.

The GSmapSearchControl Solution is a simple to use application of the Google AJAX Search API that is designed to let you easily add a searchable map to your pages, sites and blogs. The rest of this page discusses this topic in detail - but if you just want to cut and paste some code, the “hello world” of the Map Search Control solution is available at the end of this article.

The method for getting information through an implicit request can be applied not only for technical dictionary. Have you ever wondered about the double underlined links in such projects as hotscripts.com and devarticles.com? This is context-dependent advertising based on IntelliTXT engine from Vibrant Media (www.vibrantmedia.com). When the mouse cursor points to such a link an advertisement window appears. This technology is referred to as in-text advertising.
This method is also increasingly used on news portals. The main page contains only the news headings. Yet when the user puts a mouse cursor over the heading a short description appears. Thus the main page can hold a lot more news. The visitor sees the headings and all he/she has to do to get a short summary is to browse through the items with a mouse cursor. Let us now look into how contextual help can be implemented with AJAX.

AJAX allows you to make a call to an http server (typically an RSS feed or a webpage), get it’s content and load them into your existing page without having to refresh the whole page. This means that services like email don’t have to reload the whole page everytime you click a message, saving on bandwidth (loading the header/footer all over again) and making things more efficient.

CAPTCHA has become a popular means of securing forms against automated submission, by requiring users to enter a string displayed in an automatically generated image.
This implementation uses Ajax to conveniently combine CAPTCHA into normal pre-submission form verification. You'll need PHP to be installed with the GD image library (most PHP implementations will have this as standard).
